Ling Yan looked suspiciously at the curved and flat stone walls around him and discovered that there was something different. On the opposite side of the circular stone wall, there was a flat door position. When he reached that position, he gently tapped on it and a stone door slowly slid open to reveal the space behind the stone door.
Ling Yan took two steps forward and took a panoramic view of everything within the stone chamber. The stone room was divided into an inner room and an outer room. There was a rack placed against the wall, and on the shelf were all sorts of bottles. On one side of the shelf was a small bar, and on top of the rack were a few wine glasses. Ling Yan smiled and said, ”So you actually like the stuff in the glass?” ”Hahaha!”
Ji Xiaoqian said, ”For that monkey wine, he had to put in a lot of effort. Speaking of which, I still have a part in it!”
Ling Yan curiously asked, ”Bro, where did you get that Monkey Wine?” ”How can you have Qian'er's help?”
Xiong Yu led the two into the stone room and laughed: ”For that monkey wine, I specially went to North America and used a few pills refined by Ji Xiaoqian to trade with the local devil cultivator, Mountain Demon. That's why she said she had a part in it.”
Ji Xiaoqian mumbled, ”Those ShaoZhuang pills were made at the cost of two cauldrons, but in the end, they were actually exchanged for wine. I feel wronged just thinking about it.”
Xiong Chu's coarse face did not have a single trace of shame, and instead confidently said: ”You still haven't taken a few medicinal ingredients from me? If I wanted a few pills from you, I would have to be deceived and coaxed. In the end, you even beat me up, and you still feel wronged? ”
Ji Xiaoqian rolled her eyes and said angrily, ”You don't have to go through so much trouble to collect those herbs. I've spent so much effort to make those pills, but in an equal exchange, are you worth it or am I worth it?” If it wasn't for second brother's excuse, I wouldn't have given it to you. But you, instead, gave it to that gaudy old monkey as soon as you took it, only to get back a small jar of wine. ”It's completely useless!”
Xiong Chu laughed: ”Who said it's useless, in the end, won't this wine still treat you as a future husband? Hehe, do you want to lose or do you want me to lose? ”
Ji Xiaoqian was choked by Xiong Yu's words and was dragged into it. It didn't matter whether Ling Yan drank the wine or not, Ji Xiaoqian could not care less. She blushed and replied, ”He doesn't know how to drink! I can't be bothered with you! ” He walked into the room with light steps to find Ling Yan.
While they were arguing, Ling Yan had already entered the small bar's door. The stone room inside was much larger than the outer room. The square stone room was filled with multiple levels of wooden shelves, and in the middle of the room was a rectangular counter.
Under the illumination of the fluorescent tubes at the four corners of the ceiling, these objects reflected a variety of bright lights, illuminating the entire chamber in many different colors. It gave off a dazzling feeling, as Ling Yan had experienced the inner space of his mother before.
However, he was curious about these treasures that Xiong Feng had collected. Earth spirit energy was scarce, it was difficult for a person to naturally produce anything useful to a cultivator, if a bear had cultivated for countless years, then it would be difficult for him to find anything useful, if it wasn't something useful for cultivation, then it would be able to attract his attention, but rather, it would be something that would not be of value, instead, it would be something that he wanted. If you gave him a precious antique, no matter how priceless it was, the bear would probably just drop it at the foot of the mountain.
Ling Yan touched one of the boxes with his hand. The box was twenty centimeters square, and its color was dark green. On the slightly slanted lid, there were some indistinct patterns engraved.
Holding the box in his hand, Ling Yan tried to use his right hand to hold the lid, but he couldn't open it. He shook the box with his right hand, but no sound came out. The box was like an empty box, and Ling Yan knew that it wouldn't be an empty box. Ling Yan's curiosity was greatly piqued, and the power of the release of his divine sense increased. The item in the box was displayed in Ling Yan's mind, it was a square object, and Ling Yan couldn't see its name, but he was sure that it was definitely not some ordinary object, otherwise it would not have any protective spell. Ling Yan glanced at Ji Xiaoqian, who had just arrived beside him, and did not say anything.
Ji Xiaoqian replied, ”Old Bear doesn't even know about the box inside. He found it in the Atlantic Ocean.”
Just as Ling Yan was about to ask Xiong Quan, the sound of footsteps rang out. Hu Ren walked in with a small jar in his right hand and a bottle of wine in his left hand. Coincidentally, Ling Yan was facing Hu Ren, and when he saw the bitterness on his face and the fear in his eyes, he couldn't help but feel curious.
Seeing the bottles in Hu Ren's hands, Xiong Zi asked curiously, ”What are you going to do with more bottles?” This jar of monkey wine is enough for us to drink. ”
Hu Ren lowered his head and stammered, ”Teacher, I … I …”
”What about me?” Xiong Chu laughed and said, ”It's rare for you to have this kind of thought, I'm afraid that you don't have enough wine to get one bottle, hehe! You can drink with your brothers! ” He took the jar and frowned, feeling that something was wrong. He opened the seal and saw that only a quarter of the jar was left. His expression suddenly changed as he realized why Hu Ren had such an expression and scolded him, ”You bastard, you drank it secretly?”
